Unable to install the Activity Tracker (atracker) plugin in versions above 0.3.6: Unable to obtain plug-in's metadata (arm64)

[rmahroua]

Hi,
I am running the ibcmcloud CLI in a Fedora 38 ARM container (6.11.3-200.fc40.aarch64)
My ibmcloud CLI is in version 2.32.0 (e466cfd-2025-01-29T21:01:42+00:00)

I am trying to install the latest version of the atracker plugin and I am facing issues. The plugin installation works fine for the 0.3.6 version but not above.

@rmahroua thank you for bringing this to our attention. It looks like these versions of the atracker plug-in are invalid. I am reaching out to the team that maintains this plug-in.
